Congratulations, you lucked out!

I agree with both of those, and would add to Nate's analysis that there might be another milder surge once people started receiving their headphones and reporting how good they were. I know we all think the hype machine starts before people even start receiving the headphones, but I know I give more credence to someone who actually has the phone on hand.

I changed my first post to have a few useful links in it. Let me know if there are any favorites I didn't post. Does anyone know the link for Dell's deals, daily or otherwise?

It seems logical that demand will drop off at an asymptotic rate, I'd make enough to fill the entire curve once it crossed the first "moment". Sure, the might be a resurgence later, but with today's economy, I'd just assume it wasn't going to happen.

They're not exactly the same -- with lossless compression, it still needs to be decoded, so depending on your computer's capabilities, and what else you're doing, there could be slight differences...but since most people can't even hear jitter, and this being another order of magnitude less audible...the statement still smells of manure.

They should call it the B-AK-N-47.

And then I saw the price, and mentally threw it on the pile of "stuff I want, but can't justify spending the money on".

WANT.

Fitz to the white courtesy telephone please...paging Dr. Ay-kay-gee...

Nice find, thanks for sharing.

Certified Angus Steak Burger from cafeteria in my building -- was surprisingly good, so it probably won't last (not meaning that they don't sell good stuff, but that it's probably cost prohibitive). Kind of reminded me of Wendy's, for some reason, need to go try one of their burgers again, haven't been there in years.

Yeah, looks like someone fucked something up over there.

Yeah, they (Fox) bought another half-season (which is normal, and could well lead into a full season), according to Aintitcool (as per Nate's link, I suppose), so horray for that. It's official.

Anime - fan service + fan == ?

Oops, didn't realize that was almost done... Klaus Schulze, The Dresden Performance

Tangerine Dream, Underwater Sunlight

Danger Mouse, Dark Night of the Soul with Sparklehorse and David Lynch...reminds me of someone, Grandaddy?

Sham -- the process burns "more precise pits" is all. Only helps if you have anything less than a working transport.

Terminator/...Chronicles cancelled Not really a surprise, but still... On the bright side, maybe they can get Summer Glau and Lena Headey on Dollhouse...?

Weren't you going to get the special edition?

They're probably either spreaders, or chucks. Spreaders == spreads the shaft to fit; Chucks == digs in to inner surface of knob. PS I may be making up terminology, so feel free not to follow suit.

Abnormally Attracted to Tori Amos would be more like it. Me-Ow! That's quite possibly my favorite album cover since Little Earthquakes. Me: Tangerine Dream, Sorceror soundtrack -- I'm in an analogue synthesisers (what, Firefox? I'm pretty sure it's spelled with a 'Z', motherfucker) and arpeggiator mood.
